My husband and I love this bike. It's easy to put together and the quality goes well beyond the price. That being said, I don't think this bike would accomodate 350 lbs. The bike is quite lightweight. We had it on carpet at first and it sat really nicely. Once we moved it to the hardwood floor I realized that most of the weight is supported by the small black peg in the center of the bottom bar. I adjusted the back "feet" and the center peg, but I don't think this was meant for that much weight. If you can find a slightly higher quality recumbent bike that would be best. I hope this helps.

I know this is kind of an old thread...but I'm not overweight and kind of looking for a bike as another form of cardio after three knee surgeries...just curious from the people who have commented below that they are overweight and using this...what would be your follow-up results after using the bike?

I weigh 220 and am comfortable on the bike. I enjoyed the bike the little I was able to use it prior to knee surgery and hope to be able to use it again soon! Hope that helps!

Yes, though the bike is very lightweight, it can easily handle 350 lbs. The way the seat is attached is a little flimsy, so it's possible it could eventually come off, but it's probably a fairly easy repair to make.

Yes it will handel that kind of weight. I am almost 400 and can comfortably sit and exercise in it.
36351
Yes, it will handle you just fine. I weigh about the same and this bike seems to be doing just fine for me.

Some of the reviews are posted by larger customers and they haven't reported any difficulties. Good luck with it!

I am not an expert...but the bike, for the low price, is actually well made and sturdy, not a piece of junk...it has a large comfy seat and a back and you can adjust it. It is very comfortable and quiet. I paid $139 and it was well worth it. The only thing I can imagine is that at a heavier weight it might not last as long..but that's no big deal. If it gets you started on moving...it's worth it. I have a bad back, that is why I got a recumbent bike and it's really great. I didn't want to spend a lot of money in case I didn't use it as much as I hope...so it is in the corner facing the TV and a half hour goes by in no time. Good Luck with your decision!

I'm close to 200 pounds and there's no problem using this chair. If you are close to 300 pounds it may not work well for you.

I am 6'2" and weigh 220lbs. The bike is just fine for me. You will not have any issues.

My daughter weighs 95 pounds and this bike is perfect. My husband has ridden it too and he's 165lbs!

Most I've carried is 55 pounds per basket, and I wouldn't advise it. It made the baskets wobble and the handling of the bike was very weird. 35 is probably OK, but may still be considered unsafe.

No, not really.. I still like the bike but honestly it isn't comfortable.. Though I really don't think you will find one that is really comfortable.

No this bike is not too big for you. I am 5'2" and it is not big at all for me. I am sure it would be fine for you.

Absolutely. I'm 5'10", but an embarrassing 210 pounds. I use it on a fairly low setting. There's plenty of room to raise the seat and extend the bars for your husband. The bike itself is very well built. It's enormously sturdy and provides a smooth ride. It's only drawback is the seat. It's awful. He'll want to go to his local bike shop to get something more comfortable. The only other customization I made was to install an old pair of clipless pedals. Bottom line - go for it! He won't be disappointed.

From a frame perspective probably max weight is like 350 lbs, but it is electric and the electric motor has to work harder when there is more weight. It can probably handle a rider at 350 but be slower and shorter distance. I would recommend this bike for weight up to 250lbs to have enjoyable riding expirience. It can handle more but you may want a more powerful bike if you are over 250lbs

Should be fine but you are at the top end of the height spectrum for this bike.

This bike would be to big for you. I am 5 feet 7 inches and I can just tippy toe on the ground when I'm sitting on it.

I don't think that your weight would be an issue with this bike. It is very well built.

The bike is very strong and I believe that the limit is 240lbs, so you should be fine.

Rated at 320 lbs or 145 kg but I wouldn't feel comfortable near that. I'm 5'10" and 180 lbs it is perfect. I have to mind what I'm sitting on though. The frame flexes - a good bit torsional, so it may be pretty wobbly with someone of that size. If he's careful it should be fine. I just wouldn't plop down into it very hard or try to turn around without getting up out of it. It's pretty low to the ground so it would almost be like squatting for him. My next chair purchase for when I can carry a little more weight and bulk will be a Kermit chair from Tennessee.. Might be worth a look.

yes, not a problem, I weigh 200 lbs. and do it frequently,the bike can take it.

You may try but this would be more appropriate for someone around less than 6 feet and weighing around 80kg. You may look for something more sturdy for a comfortable ride. I would suggest Diamondback 2013 Overdrive V 29'er Mountain Bike with 29-Inch Wheels, expensive but worth it.
